Xfer customised weapons to GW2?

By now most people who are curious about what type of bridge the expansion would provide from gw1 to gw2 would have looked up guildwiki and found out about the hall of monuments.

Basically like it says you'll be able to transfer over your weapons, armor, titles, etc. So are customised weapons going to be xferrable aswell?
( by customised I mean the +20% damage thing you get from the weapons crafter that pervents the weapons use by anyone else).

Ok, you've read it wrong, or people are putting mis-information on there again.

Nothing is "transferable." Your accomplishments in GW1 allow you to UNLOCK things to USE in GW2. But no, you aren't transferring your Crystalline or Chaos Axe.

Having FoW armor is considered an "accomplishment." And will unlock... something.

GW2 won't have heroes in the same fashion as GW1, but having certain heroes will allow you to unlock unique companions (GW2 version of Hero).

Remember, these are two SEPARATE games, linked only through the Hall of Monuments in GW:EN. Just because GW1 has Warriors, Paragon, Dervish, Ranger, Monk, etc. doesn't mean GW2 will have all 10 professions.

(Note: The only "exception" to the transfer rule I am aware of is mini-pets, but in the way it was spoken of, again it could be unlock-able only. Then again, the game is 2+ years out, it could change 9 ways from Sunday between now and then.)

It is limited to certain weapons. Some titles you earn in GW1 will activate benefits in GW2.

PC Gamer describes it as a family inheritance. Titles and minipets may give access to certain GW2 benefits. Special weapon earned in GW1 may be in a display case in your Hall of Monuments and your GW2 character will be able to take them out and use them.

I would expect the weapons to be limited to unlocked weapons in GW:EN or maybe certain green items.

I think it's been said before...there will be no direct transfers between the games...anything you can get from GW1 will be unlocked through the Hall of Monuments you build in GW:EN (and you can only build it in GW:EN, ie if you don't have GW:EN you won't be able unlock anything)

I just hope I can take a staff called Mazey Vorastagg's Gaia Stave for use on her granddaughter, Illayna Rialon!

Oh the excitement!!

But, what ever it is, it's sure to be cool.

So basically if i want to customise my green spear from the thorne of secrets its ok because just having it will allow for the unlock for my gw2 character so i dosn't matter? i hope that's the case cause i'm reading the section in the pc gamer right now about HOM and it didn't say anything about unlock for weapons it just says that it gets a nice display case that your gw2 character gets to take out and use. So if its customised my decendent would be screwed if his arms/hands are too big.

I guess its an obvious mistake to avoid and arenanet has a good record of avoiding stupid things like that but i just had to make sure before i customise my green weapoins.

You CANNOT Xfer armor for sure, and there is NO information released by A-net that you can Xfer your weapons in HoM. In fact the facts point to the opposite.... c'mon people. HoM is not a big chest you can put things in and retreive them 100 yrs later. You build MONUMENTS that UNLOCK things...

I am willing to bet my entire inventory/money that none of the items you have in GW1 will be Xfered to GW2.

I agree, the most I heard is that through HoM, you can only transfer titles and gold. Nothing about armors and weapons could be transfer!

Gaile confirmed that Gold WILL NOT transfer

so only titles and maybe your character's names will be transfer?

Geez, I don't know if any of my titles (non-max) is worth sending over to GW2!

We really have no idea how the inheritance will work yet, nor do we know what will be allowed (though we know some things that will not be). There have been mentions of transferring weapons and armor (both from the previews and unofficial statements), but that's it. All we can do for now is wait for more info to come out.

~There has been no mention about transfering any equipment... from preview or statements.... The only statement is from a magazine that really doesn't even prove anything. It says a weapon that you earn .... may be able to be placed in a case for later use... Most likely it is some end game weapon (i.e. sword of the destroyer) that you don't even weild... but a monument is built in your honor with this weapon inside... which in turn will unlock something in GW2.

~the Devs have confirmed that armour is definitely not transferable....


This is how the "Hate anet cuz they promissed us that we could keep everything" threads get started.

Keep in mind that GW2 may be a long way off.... but HoM apparently isn't ...Gw:en is comming in just a few months.

I think you're still misunderstanding.

Having a Green Item now, will not unlock said green item for a GW2 character.

Are you even certain there will be paragons to wield said spear? Because ANet hasn't said so.

A magazine MAY have said (though I don't recall it, having read it) you can take items out of a case, but the DEVELOPERs have said no item is transferable (with the exception of mini-pets, perhaps).

How "unlocks" work, in the fashion they have been explained thus far. Having FoW armor (or some "high-end" armor, it wasn't stated clearly) will unlock "Something." It may not be FoW armor... it probably won't, but it will be SOMETHING.

GW:EN will allow us access to "unique items not otherwise attainable in GW2." This does NOT mean GW1 items.

It's something that is unique, to both games, gained as a result from attaining something in GW1.

Nothing ....anywhere from the Devs, states that we get any benefit in GW2 for having...any set of GW1 armour (or weapon for that matter).

Do not get people's hopes up for something that is pure fancy. If anyone actually has proof that the Devs had said this... then please post it.... because so far all we have gotten is: "well since we can transfer stuf..." and no proof has been made.

People should think of it this way: If you unlock this monument ..then if you get GW2 you can unlock a special (game of the year edition type) weapon, or festival hat, or mini, etc... as if you purchased a special edition of GW2.

bah i cant even be bothered to post it anymore...1 word GWW...go look it up

I do recall Gaile saying at one point one would be rewarded for having certain armors (as achievements) similar to how titles will reward you. Then again, that could have been a "should" and not "would" from her.

I'll look through some of the Dev quotes, and if I see it, I'll post a link.

now, i remember something along the lines of armour (thats the english!) or at least clothing being made available for titles or something along that line...

<speculation>

We know that titles will most likely transfer, though no one knows whether they will be direct transfers or not. I'd say not, as it would make more sense for my GW2 title to be Rianna "granddaughter of Rianna, who was Kind of a Big Deal", rather than Rianna, Kind of a Big Deal.

Weapons and armor almost certainly not transfer as-is. That would require the game mechanics to remain static, which they most certainly will not. My best guess is that they will unlock a somewhat similar item, ala the Factions or Nightfall pre-order unlocks, or the Tyrian GOTY unlocks. Thus you will have something unique that will distinguish you, based on your great-grandmother's earlier feats.

The best we can probably hope for is that some of the neater items (Chaos Axe, Mursaat Hammer, Fellblade, Eternal Bow) will come across with similar skins.

</speculation>

how hard is it to type transfer? seriously stop making new shortand words its not like you are in a rush to be anywhere.

Bart's Words of Wisdom

"Don't expect anything and you won't be dissapointed."

My only hope is ArenaNet release all information about Hall of Monuments, I mean, not now, but when GW:EN is released, we must know what we will get working in our "monument", related with what we will get in GW2.

Anyway, I have an old suggestion, not sure if I was the first one, and is this: A minipet of yourself (GW1 character) in GW2. That way you will be able to show your GW1 armor/weapons in GW2 (just showing the minipet, a minipet you can upgrade just entering GW1 and changing armor/weapons; that minipet could even show the GW1 title you want)
